No shortage of classic films at Cinemark (PlayBill blog by William Kerns)

Cinemark still has some films in its Reel Classic series left this month. After all, you can catch "Mary Poppins" at 7 p.m. today, and "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" on Oct. 25 and "Young Frankenstein" on Oct. 31 ... the latter two at both 2 p.m. and 7 p.m., and all three films at Movies 16.

But I was wondering what Cinemark might come up with for the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays, especially the latter.

And a sneak peek at the next batch of Cinemark's Reel Classics include a four-film lead-in to Christmas, and all in all, some nifty choices.

The next Cinemark Reel Classics Series at Movies 16 includes:

Tuesday, Nov. 20, "2001: A Space Odyssey" (1968).

Wednesday, Nov. 28, "Home Alone" (1990).

Wednesday, Dec. 5, "It's a Wonderful Life" (1946).

Wednesday, Dec. 12, "The Ten Commandments" (1956).

Wednesday, Dec. 19, "Miracle on 34th Street" (1947).

Wednesday, Dec. 26, "Rocky" (1976).

Yes, "Home Alone," "It's a Wonderful Life," "The Ten Commandments" and "Miracle on 34th Street" are the Christmas selections.

And if you're unsure how "Home Alone" fits in, recall that one small boy's family rushes off to catch a plane and spend the Christmas holidays in France, realizing later that (duh) somebody's missing.

All six films will be shown at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. and, in an incredibly wise move, Cinemark also has announced that two of these films -- "2001: A Space Odyssey" and "The Ten Commandments" -- will be screened in Movies 16's XD auditorium.
